Virginia Sue Wilson, 75, was found dead in a rear bedroom of her Augusta Road home in Thomson, Georgia, on September 7, 2022. An autopsy determined the cause of death was a gunshot wound.

The initial 911 call was made by her husband, James Edgar Wilson III. Deputies arriving at the scene encountered him in the front yard on his knees holding a .38 caliber pistol to his chest; after a brief standoff he surrendered and was taken into custody. He reportedly told officers that he had killed his wife and that she was inside the house. The Georgia Bureau of Investigation assisted the McDuffie County Sheriff’s Office with the inquiry, and James Wilson was arrested and charged with murder and possession of a firearm during the commission of a felony.

What details about the timeline or circumstances that night might help explain how this happened, and can anyone who knew the Wilsons shed light on their relationship or events leading up to September 7, 2022?
